Seventeen-year-old Lindsey Vachon's story has gone global after airing on WMUR-Channel 9 on Tuesday night. She has been fighting to save her family's home from foreclosure.

Wednesday morning, the family raced to court to get a copy of the restraining order that blocked the auction planned for later in the day. By the time they got home, the auctioneer and two bidders were outside the house ready for a sale.

Instead, the family has a 60-day reprieve.

"Halting the auction was just step one," Vachon said.

Vachon suffers from a series of genetic conditions so rare that she is only one of five people in the world who has them. As her family was facing foreclosure, she said she was inspired to act when she heard the story of “Batkid,” a young California boy the Make-A-Wish Foundation made a superhero for a day.

To help prevent the foreclosure, she sent a letter to the governor, to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, to WMUR and other placed. The help is now coming in.

"The Manchester Monarchs called and said they might collaborate with Make-A-Wish and help us out," she said.

Even heroes need backup. Mike Dillon from Stellionata Consulting, a local company specializing in foreclosure defense, helped the family find a lawyer and get an 11th-hour court order to stop the auction.

"Homeowners need to know that they do have rights, and many of them are walking away from their properties when they don't have to," Dillon said.

The foreclosure auction has been rescheduled for April 4.

Two Make-A-Wish granters plan to meet with Lindsey Vachon in the next couple of days to see how their organization can help.
